Last week Andretti and General Motors 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:announced the🐲ir intention to enter F1 under the Andretti Cadillac banner, and while their bid still faces substantial opposition and hurdles to get over, they are pushi𓃲ng ahead♔ with plans for the future.

Speaking at a press conference outlining their ambitions, Michael Andretti confirmed his team intend to sign at least one US racer for their💫 ‘all-American’ effort. 

• Do Andretti finally have what they need to enter F1?
• F1-FIA rift deepens as teams rage𒊎 at $200m Andretti entry plan

If Andretti’s 🍰plan does indeed come to fruition, Colton Herta could well get🌊 his F1 shot. 

"We defini🍎tely have a plan to have an American driver," Andretti said. " I think you all know who is leading the pack on that one.

"Colton♐ we have under contract right now in IndyCar. We want to make this an aജll-American effort to make sure we have an American driver in the seat.”

Red Bull were interested in signing Herta to drive for their sister team AlphaTauri alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda for F1 2023, but the 22-year-old missed out due to a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:lack of super licence points despite his success in IndyCar. 

With Herta contracted to race for Andretti in IndyCar until 2🍰027, he would be the standout candidate for an F1 drive in 2026, which is the earliest any prospective new teams could join the world championship. 

Despite Herta missing the cut, there will be one American driver on the F1 grid this year in the shape of168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Logan Sargeant. 

Sargeant will make his debut with Williams, partnering 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon in the team’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2023 driver line-up, after finishing fourth in the 2ꦛ022 F2 championship with two v🦩ictories.  

Herta may have to wait a few more years yet to get his F1 chance, but he would be a logical fit at🍬 Andretti-Cadillac.
